    I forget exactly where it was but there was a combat landing strip I believe was in Cambodia, or maybe Laos, that went right up the side of the mountain you came in low just barely clearing the canopy of the jungle at close to a stall speed, landed up hill stopping was easy as the runway was nearly a 45° up slope but taking off you needed to be at the very top end get half way down the strip and fire every Jato you had mounted in the plane to gain enough speed so you could pull up in time to clear the canopy.
    I firmly believe that there were come combat pilots who could land and take off a C130 in a stadium
